Few fictional weapons of mass destruction have captured moviegoers' imaginations like the Death Star. The orb of death is among Star Wars' more memorable pieces of technology, in large part because it fueled the plot in the original Star Wars movie.

It functioned in the same way a battleship or a submarine would function.
